Cloud Solutions

Why are so many companies moving to the cloud?

The cloud isn't a tech trend. The cloud is here to stay. With numerous benefits, cloud infrastructure allows you to work on your terms. Whether you realize it or not, you are probably a cloud user right now. If you bank online, listen to music, watch movies or TV, play games or send email, you are operating in the cloud.

As the cloud platform matures, businesses are taking advantage of on-demand software options to manage their costs.

Cloud ERP has proven to be one of the fastest ways to help your organization grow and compete. You can run leaner with improved margins by operating in the cloud.

How does the cloud compare to on-prem deployments?

The cloud provides the flexibility you need

“It became clear to us early on that we wanted a cloud computing based platform. We wanted to focus on our business and we knew, as we were growing and moving, we needed a platform that would grow with us, being able to work on the road, at the office and we wanted to have the continuity.”

The average SME spends $21,000 on external security professionals after a breach.*

How can you avoid becoming another statistic?

Here are 8 reasons businesses benefit from a cloud infrastructure

“Pay us to release your data,” are words no IT manager wants to hear.

With a subscription service to your ERP, this won't happen. Protect your data and your peace of mind by always being on the latest release available from the software vendor.
